Did you know that a game of chance known as dreidle (dreidel) — or sivivon in Hebrew — is played on Chanukah?

The dreidle is a four-sided top, which is passed around and spun by each of 2 to 4 players. The letter that the top lands on determines how much of the pot of pennies (or chocolate coins) one wins or loses.
